This activity aimed to discuss the monitoring and implementation of fortification for cooking oil, wheat flour, and iodized salt in North Sumatra Province. It also served as a platform to disseminate the monitoring results to regional governments and stakeholders.
The FGD featured speakers from various institutions, including the North Sumatra Provincial Office of Industry and Trade, Medan BBPOM, the Secretary of the Master of Public Health Program at Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU), and the Regional Board of the Indonesian Public Health Expert Association (IAKMI) North Sumatra.

Through this Focus Group Discussion, it is hoped that the quality and quantity of food in Indonesia, particularly in North Sumatra Province, can be adequately met. This collaboration is expected to serve as a platform for discussion and solutions to address current food-related issues. Ultimately, the implementation of fortification for cooking oil, wheat flour, and iodized salt in North Sumatra can be realized optimally.
